John McDowell, LPC. A core desire in life is to be fully known and accepted. At the heart of being known is the need for full honesty with ourselves and others in the midst of growth in changing life experiences. Honesty with love and humility leads us into dynamic freedom. Many people hide their realities or internal struggles in shame, fear, and performance.
My approach
John involves Reality Therapy, Solution Focused, Choice Theory and Cognitive Behavior therapies to empower people to feel heard and seen, then equipping them to flourish and work through next steps.
My focus
Individual, Couples, Family. Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Issues, Trauma, Sex Therapy and more.
My communication style
Warm, challening and solution focused with an emphasis on making you feel known.
My journey to mental healthcare
Each person has a unique and valuable story. Unraveling this story in depth, within a safe and vivid environment, is part of the process to healthy personal growth and a better future. Keeping a holistic, larger view is key, as people’s worth and change possibilities extend far beyond their issues or problems. John is an expert marriage counselor. “No man is a failure who has friends,” a quote from the film It’s a Wonderful Life is his enduring favorite reflection of his priorities. He has a gift to build and nourish authentically real relationships with friends and people. Humanities’ driving desire in life is to know others while becoming known and fully accepted.
My goals for you
The key is to make new choices with small 1% or 1 degree changes that produce the outcome you want to have in your life.
My first session with you
John helps clients unlock and practice this transformative mindset of honesty that then takes crucial steps further - embracing others on that same level of authenticity. This in turn creates new choices that will transform your life.
